Before Setting the Oven Controls
The lower oven is equipped with a blower which runs in baking and self-cleaning mode to keep all
internal components at a cool temperature. The blower may keep running even if the oven has been turned off, until
the components have cooled down.

Oven Vent Location
See illustration on left side for venting location of each oven. When the oven is
on, warm air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air
circulation in the oven and good baking results.

the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack

or premature scorching of food if placed in oven prior to completion of the
preheat cycle.
